Karelian self-made

There is no such word - amateurs, any philologist will tell you. And the tour is a master class with a strange but fair name. And if we do it ourselves, then we are fools. And if we sculpt something from clay + Karelian cake-cake, and even on the territory of the former Karelian Autonomous Region, then - Karelian.

Likhoslavl is the former capital of the long-defunct Karelian Autonomous Region. There is no region, and the Karelians both lived in the Tver region and live. Interesting people. Especially if you understand where they come from and why they have this way of life. What's Kalevala? Who's Vinjamenen? And why the origins of Karelian writing should be sought in the Upper Volga region. As well as several centers of Karelian culture.

But you and I are going to Lichoslavl. Moreover, our excursion can go according to the minimum program, with maximum immersion in the problems of cakes-cages and clay. Or maybe - according to the maximum program, when diving into the depths of Karelian life and, partly, folklore is added to the clay.

The minimum program is a tour of the ceramics factory, which in fact refers itself not to factories, but to folk crafts. If you look at her equipment and think about her age, it's scary. But it immediately becomes clear why everything is breaking down so quickly.

Having understood how to get good clay, and what can be done with it, we begin to sculpt with our own hands. The process is not easy, but it is not tedious either. On the contrary)

And the master class on cooking wickets is also delicious. We'll eat whatever we do ourselves. And since it is impossible to spoil the gate, this event is always a great success.

The maximum program is more complex and sophisticated. In addition to the factory, there are also Karelians. As they lived in the Likhoslavl villages, so they live. We'll go to a village like that. A real Karelian house. With history, with the inhabitants, with rare things, with a Russian stove. And there we will delve into the peculiarities of Karelian life, bake a wicket and have lunch. After lunch, we go to the factory.

As for marmalade, you can always buy it in the store. And if you decide to understand where it came from, such a beautiful marmalade, you can go to the museum of the marmalade factory. And arrange yourself another master class, where to decorate the belly of a gummy bear with sugar rose. Kids are fine. And if an adult thinks about it – some Masonic theme turns out, because the “Gothic rose” pops up in his head by itself, which you need to watch in a completely different place.

And marmalade, and clay, and wickets - all this, of course, is great. But the key to the success of the program "Karelian self-made" in this "SAMO", which means - themselves. And also in the self-identity and self-sufficiency of the Karelian people, who have not only their grandfather Frost, but also their Halloween.

The minimum number of guests is 6.
